At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the guns fell silent and the Great War ended when a peace treaty was signed – 102 years ago.
The Parkes Sub Branch of the Returned and Services Leagues of Australia organised a commemoration at the Cenotaph at Cooke Park on Wednesday.
Students from seven schools recited the names of the fallen heroes from the Parkes Shire from World Wars 1 and 2, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. The Holy Family School choir sang, and Deputy Mayor Barbara Newton gave an address reflecting on the consequences of war.
